Campus Safety is AWESOME. Even walking around that quiet campus at 2 am in the morning, students always feel safe because of the many campus safety members there are.

Greek Life

I am not aware of PMC having this.

Clubs and Activities

We have the model united nations club, the ASB and many more.

Great for these types of students

outgoing students will love Pine Manor College

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Pine Manor College being located in a quiet neighborhood, students are more likely to forget that we they live in Boston. One tradition we have at PMC is having breakfast on Bingo night the week before finals.

What to do for fun

Once a month there is a dance night. Trips to town. Activities on Campus are a daily basis depending on what one prefers

Food and Dining

The food is always delicious and there is always plenty for everyone.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is really good with a lot of space in the rooms and safe surroundings.

Academic Rigor

PMC is pretty rigor when it comes to absences, late work and use of substance abuse while on campus.

Tips for prospective students

Choose a school that has the best program for YOU. If you have problems paying tuition avoid things such as paying for room and board when you can commute for way less money. Always make sure the professor knows that you are in class by participating. Study, Study and Study as much as possible for good grades.

In three sentences

It is one of the best women college in the United. It is affordable compared to other private schools. The size of the classes make the student feel like they have their professor complete attention.

Campus Safety

I feel extremely safe on campus!!!

Clubs and Activities

There are a few clubs on campus right now. However, fall 2012 we are looking to make our campus more exciting and encourage students to open their own clubs. example of clubs are: student Government, L.O.V.E.S, Management Club, Yoga Club, International Club and few others.

Great for these types of students

Students who love to be in a family environment, Have had a hard time fitting in in highschool or their social life, students who love being in a wonderful, greeeeennnn environment and loves nature. students who see a need to attend an all women college in other to perform better in college. students who learn better with more attention from the professors.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

PMC is diverse and there are students from different cultures.

What to do for fun

Get involve in club activities. Start your own club and keep the campus alive because it has to take the students to make the campus funnn!!! also hang out in Bostonn!!

Food and Dining

food is great. especially during international week.

Dorm Life

Do not leave on campus but from what i have heard its average.

Academic Rigor

Professor are awesome and well educated. Most of them work or have worked in their area of studies.

Tips for prospective students

take advantage of every opportunity that is available for students on campus. If you don't then someone else will. Get connected to your professors and staff because they are here to help you succeed. they really do care!!!

In three sentences

Pine Manor College is a wonderful all women college for women who are looking for a family like environment while receiving a quality education.

Brittany from PLAINVILLE, CT

The campus safety is great at being cautious but to students you will believe that is stinks because its like a babysitting!

What to do for fun

For fun you should get involved in clubs and sports on campus because partying, because boston has alot of clubs,colleges and parties, will only distract you from the ultimate goal of being successful.

Tips for prospective students

My tip to prospective students would be to be open with the instructors here because they are more than willing to help you learn or accomidate your needs for success.

In three sentences

A great small setting for students who find one on one attention necessary in completing their college goals. They offer a variety of teaching styles and attend to students in difficult situations needs, like student parents and foreign students. They staff is willing to go an extra mile to see women succeed and become more like family than anything else.

Campus Safety

Campus Safety was always visible and friendly to students.

Greek Life

Non-Existent

Clubs and Activities

L.O.V.E.S (Ladies of Various Ebony Shades) is the most active group on campus ant the only one that really advertises. Also, the CVSA (Cape Verdean Student Association and HAWA (Hatian student gruop) exists as well.

Great for these types of students

Determined, independent, self-disciplined, women.

Bang for the buck

The facility could have been more updated for the amount of tuition and housing fees we pay. For example, they could invest in some WI-FI because it's 2013. No one wants to be tethered to an Ethernet cable.

What to do for fun

Make friends with the ELI (English Language Institute) students or the NEAI (New England Art Institute) students and go explore the wonders of Boston; a very short green line ride away!!

Food and Dining

The food really depends on the staff and unfortunately I cannot vouch that it is more than edible....

Dorm Life

Dorms are spacious, but the walls are extremely thin which requires patients. Students must form their own sense of community.

Academic Rigor

The science department ensures that the PMC curricula is comparable to the nation's leading schools for the clinical sciences such as MGH, MCPHS, and BC.

Tips for prospective students

Be bold, be yourself and do your work!!!

In three sentences

Pine Manor College is a quaint little school with a beautiful campus, an exceptionally diverse student body, and a dynamic staff that does what they can to get you across that stage. It has an interesting history as well. Also, I received great support and guidance from the academic staff as well as my adviser.

Nikea from New York, NY

Campus safety is very down to earth and understanding they aren't to strict with us and let us enjoy our time there.

Greek Life

Don't have any

Clubs and Activities

The clubs and activities are boring because people never take part in it and the school doesn't advertise it well so that the students can take part.

Great for these types of students

I think the school is great for students who like attending small schools. And like being in the city as well as the woods.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Dont have any

Bang for the buck

I honestly would like to see the school improve. I feel like it has so much potential to be an amazing school that people actually enjoy. They give good financial aid and work with you when it comes to payments classes and etc. I wish that the school would improve its food and dormitory experience. Pine Manor is also very strict when it comes to having fun and parties and I believe that that's where students learn grow and have memorable moments.

What to do for fun

Honestly there is nothing fun to do.

Food and Dining

I give food and dining one star because the food is terrible. Nothing is ever seasoned or cooked all the way. There has been a moment in which I found a strip of under cooked bacon on my sandwich. We also eat the same thing quite often.

Dorm Life

I give the dorm life two stars because there is usually nothing really to do. I feel like the RA's should host things like movie night more frequently or little outings to make living in dorms with a bunch of strangers a lot more bearable. What i also don't really like is that the dorms don't have WiFi or computer rooms or little kitchens so that you can cook.

Academic Rigor

The academics at Pine Manor I think is amazing. The teachers help you and try to accommodate you to the best of there ability. The lasses are small so you get the attention and extra help you feel that you need and pay for.

Tips for prospective students

My tip for prospectiokve students is that its really small and not a party school or environment so if your looking for a school like that this isn't the one.

In three sentences

I believe that Pine Manor College Is very friendly and welcoming. The school its self does have a couple down falls such as the food and the social life that students encounter. I would describe going to school at Pine Manor College whatever you make it because the school is so boring socially and just overall as a school that your experience their isn't quite memorable.

Pine Manor is a school that offers you comfort, support, and most importantly success. When I visited they were very warm and open. They are a small school but that's a good thing because that leaves room for professors get to know you on a first name basis and you can always receive help when you need it.

Campus Safety

Campus safety is very aggressive and determined. You can not come on campus without a school ID for the following year. If you are a visitor for a student/teacher they will automatically call you from the front desk to confirm. If you was to order something and have it delivered you have to call campus security and let them know the time it should be arriving and what you ordered. I feel very safe at Pine Manor!

Greek Life

There is no Greek life, but looking forward to starting one.

Clubs and Activities

There is a variety of choices to do something or you can even start your own club/activity if you wanted. It just have to be confirmed with the President of Pine Manor.

What to do for fun

You can do a lot of things on campus for fun like, sports, have a international bringing. That means the different race will bring something that represents the most popular thing in there country.

Food and Dining

Food is great and you have a variety of things to choose from.

Dorm Life

There is lots of space for two people. The suites are awesome too. But it's very spacey and it feels like home.

Academic Rigor

Pine Manor does not have the most popular major but the classes are awesome!

Tips for prospective students

The best school ever!

In three sentences

Pine Manor is a very diverse campus. It has a variety of things to do and have plenty of opportunity's to work on campus. The school is very social and helpful.

What to do for fun

I am not a social body so during my free time I sleep, draw or just take long walks.

Food and Dining

I personal am restricted to the food choices given at the school because I'm a vegetarian. I only eat salad, pizza, tofu, or make my own sandwich, which is always the best. The dinning area is a decent size and very comfortable.

Dorm Life

I luckily have a single room because I like my personal space. Overall singles and doubles are much bigger than other colleges offer. Though the buildings are old the great thing about it is you have extra space and don't have to feel overwhelmed or enclosed.

Academic Rigor

As a Freshman I do enjoy the fact that Pine Manor offers you free professional tutors where in other colleges you have to pay for it or get help from a student. The teachers actually take their time in helping students get back on their feet to enhance any knowledge that they either forgot or currently do not know. I personal am a strong and aggressive advocate when it comes to my education. Closed mouths do not get fed. If your in need of academic help, you need to take the initiative to let your professor or someone in authority that you just to guide you through. College may not be for everyone, but to get anywhere in life, you need to have some knowledge of what your going to encounter in life.

Tips for prospective students

Students looking to apply to Pine Manor College should follow these three main tips: Make sure your financial status is covered and if not apply to as many scholarships as you can, with the help of Vanessa Gomez - Do not skip your classes because you will fail out before second semester - Do not associate yourself with/ negative people, environment or negative situations in which you do not belong too(in life period).

In three sentences

As a Freshman, my first month at Pine Manor was pretty decent. I was welcomed by many friendly upperclassmen and many students. As the year goes on I hope to continue to meet new people and get somewhere.
